VIP Posted March 12, 2011 Share #1 Posted March 12, 2011 in the wake of the Marcy Ave incident on a Metropolitan av bound all R42 C/R boards now have an "R 42" in orange paint. But i've been Hearing a lot of talk on the getting rid of the 50 R42's by June in replacement for 50 R32's. I don't how true this is or if it was just a suggestion, but if the (J)/(Z) gets R32's doesn't the personnel have to change the C/R boards again? and wouldn't that just have defeated the purpose of labeling the R42 boards? what do you think? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If those R42's do get retired, all that will happen is the boards will come down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EE Broadway Local Posted March 12, 2011 Share #7 Posted March 12, 2011 Maybe, in June or July, the might be receiving R68s. If so, maybe, the R46s might go to the . That would free up R32 Brightliners to go to the (J)/(Z) . At present, I think it is still unconfirmed if R68s will go to the G and, if they do, where the R46s might go.

Roadcruiser1 Posted March 12, 2011 Share #8 Posted March 12, 2011 The R32's has problems don't they. Why put them on the (J)/(Z) when we know about the problems with their air conditioning. Unless if you have some R32's with working AC's, but then again we don't even know if the R44's are going to run for the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Law Posted March 12, 2011 Share #11 Posted March 12, 2011 Will the R32s be able to fit through the Chrystie Street Connection? Why wouldn't they? The 32's are 60ft long, don't see a problem with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadcruiser1 Posted March 12, 2011 Share #12 Posted March 12, 2011 You know unless if they open the windows on those cars they would be unbearably hot right. It isn't like the windows are fully open. Unless if the plans to open all the windows to operate the cars during the summer. Though I don't think the R42's are going to be retired over the summer. It's most likely the R42's would be stored in the East New York Yard until farther notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilbluefoxie Posted March 12, 2011 Share #13 Posted March 12, 2011 so what exactly is the problem with the R42s that they need to be retired? yea their old and rusty but they still work and i don't see replacing them with older trains with other problems being a practical solution.

Roadcruiser1 Posted March 12, 2011 Share #14 Posted March 12, 2011 It could be possible that the decided to give the R42's a break for a while over the summer, and to keep the cars maintained so they can run better during the fall. They are old. They would need to keep up to date with those cars, and maintain them. Years of running has an effect on their carbon steel, and fiberglass ends, and body parts. Sure there are stainless steel parts, but they aren't the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
